UAV Commercial Network Field Test

Ericsson is performing a program of work in collaboration with GSMA to benefit the industry by undertaking a network performance monitoring and engineering (NPM&E) study associated with technical implications of commercialization of connected drones on mobile networks.

About the project

The scope of work will focus on an assessment of a variety network KPIs including signal strength, downlink, uplink, interference, and video performance with tests performed at various altitudes up to 400 ft. Phase 1 provides a network baseline with phase 2 covering network adjustments.

At MWC Las Vegas 2023, Ericsson provides an overview of the initiative, the solution approach, architecture, and summary of some initial findings for Phase 1.
